Starting over when your over 50

Featured Replies

Greetings all. I'm new to the fourm, but I am enjoying  and learning from all of you. I fished alot when I was young but then the girls came and the fishing became a thing of the past. Well the girls are in college amd I'm once again a smi-free man. I bought a nice little bass boat (a G3) with all the right stuff on it. Now I realize there is a learning curve. But  with the Garmin, the new baits and everything... well it's a bit  more than I was used to. So If there is anybody in Panama City that wants to fish and show me some moves I'de be gratefull. So far it's been Bear creek and Deer Point. But I'm game to go any where.  Keep up the good work and Tight lines to all  :)

Welcome Glass_Man,

I started over at 57!  after a 32 year absence from the sport.  I fish from a canoe and fish small lakes, rivers and streams.  Being semi-retired ( I teach part-time at a college now and only work Tuesday-Thursday with all summer off) and free of life's normal responsibilities I find I finally have time for myself and I greatly enjoy being outdoors  paddling a solitary body of water.  Of course a nice bass on the line gets the adrenalin pumping!   Enjoy all there is to learn here - there is a wealth of knowledge!

Hey GlassMan, you sound like me.  50 next month, took some time off fishing, raised one kid , two to finish up.  I too got back into fishing. Thought I knew alot about the sport until I started getting into these forums:))  Just sit back, take advantage of this forum and learn like I am trying to do.  I am in California, sorry can't help you much there.  Best of luck!

Tight lines...got that right! ;D

Welcome to the site...! You should read more of the articles on this site which are a big help...! Would love to fish with you but I'm up in New Jersey...! If your ever up this way though look me up I'd be happy to have a little company... ;D

abel fisher have you ever fished spring lake? There is a 20+ pound bass in there, you need to catch that sucker.

Welcome aboard Glass Man
